This year we will have try-outs for all swimmers, new AND returning!

Beginning Monday, 8/23 and ending Tuesday, 8/31 all swimmers must be evaluated and placed!! If you are a returning swimmer you WILL have a spot on the team! NOTE: There will be no try-outs Friday through Sunday, 8/27-29!!!

Schedule:
Monday and Tuesday, 8/23+24: Anyone wanting to be a Senior or Blue Senior MUST attend these evenings from 5:45-7:15pm.

Wednesday and Thursday, 8/25+26, Monday and Tuesday, 8/30+31: 10 and unders swim 5:45-6:30; 11-14 year olds (pre-High School) swim 6:30-7:30.

This will give the Coaching staff Wednesday and Thursday, 9/1+2 to prepare a list of accepted and placed athletes. Once we conclude our decisions we will email and post the results. At that time each family will have to email their desired weekly practice schedule per swimmer - these will be due via email by Tuesday, 9/7.

We will begin practice Wednesday, 9/8. There will be a suit sizing held very shortly thereafter. Your swimmer(s) will need at least a team suit. If they wear a cap they will order those through me. These basics are required to compete and all swimmers are expected to swim at least the home meets!
